I saw one on my Dragon Tongue Beans about a month ago. Every time I went to pick beans he would scare the heck out of me. It was about an inch long. Yesterday I was trying to decide whether to spray the aphids on my pink eye purple hull peas (right next to the dragon tongue beans) and I saw a big mantis on the dragon tongue beans. Now I am afraid to spray for the aphids. Do you think insecticidal soap would hurt the mantis.
